City Tour of Cusco

The Cusco City Tour is the best introduction to visit the must-see landmarks of the city. This classic tour begins in the center of Cusco with the majestic Temple of the Sun (Qoricancha), then continues to other fascinating sites located just outside the city. Throughout the tour, you’ll witness the incredible blend of Inca and Spanish architectural styles — especially at Qoricancha, where both are combined in one remarkable place.

Cusco is a truly mysterious city to visit, with many streets lined with flawless Inca stonework. These formed the foundations of most colonial buildings constructed in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Cusco City Tour offers a wonderful introduction to the Inca world and the ancient history of this millenary Peruvian culture.

This tour is especially recommended for travelers who have just arrived in the breathtaking capital of the Inca Empire.

Itinerario

Travelers will be picked up from their hotel at the scheduled time. After a short drive, we begin our tour with a visit to the Temple of Qoricancha, an impressive structure built during the height of the Inca Empire.

We then leave Cusco for the Sacsayhuamán Fortress, located just 20 minutes from the city. This astonishing structure is made of massive limestone boulders, perfectly carved and assembled with absolute precision — some weighing up to 128 tons.

Next, we visit Qenqo, a mysterious site with underground passageways and a rock formation believed to have been used by the Incas for mummification rituals of important figures.

The tour concludes with visits to the Inca baths of Tambomachay and the military fortress of Pukapukara. After the tour, we return to the city of Cusco.
